McLaren driver Lando Norris claimed victory at the Formula 1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday, while Mercedes clinched the constructors' championship for the 2026 season. The race at Interlagos delivered a decisive moment in the title battle, with Mercedes wrapping up the team crown with races still remaining on the calendar.
Norris's win marks another strong performance for McLaren in the 2026 campaign. The British driver managed the race conditions at the Brazilian circuit to take the checkered flag ahead of his rivals. Meanwhile, Mercedes' consistent points accumulation throughout the season proved sufficient to secure the constructors' title, adding another championship to the team's extensive trophy cabinet.
The result leaves the drivers' championship still open, but the constructors' battle has been decided in Mercedes' favor. Both championships will reach their conclusion at the remaining rounds of the 2026 Formula 1 season.
